Well,it's easier to move buildtrees around. Just a move of xc to 
/whatever/xc will work and keeps Mesa building.

But indeed,if you keep Mesa in a fixed location like /usr/local/Mesa-newtree 
and move the xc dir, the buildtree keeps building with the standard 
host.def entry and breaks with my "solution".

So never mind my "solution".
